PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Shadow Claw + Foul Play and Close Combat or Play Rough or Trailblaze

Shadow Claw is one of the best fast moves in the game, and is recommended despite the lack of STAB. Metal Claw benefits from STAB, but has disappointing energy generation. 

Foul Play ties for the least amount of energy needed, and provides consistent damage that's relatively neutral. Close Combat can be chosen for its incredible damage output and wide coverage, but is risky to use due to its self-debuff. Play Rough offers coverage against Perrserker's weakness to Fighting-types, though it may not be enough to win in an even fight. Trailblaze can stack up Attack boosts and offer counter-coverage to Ground Types, but sadly most relevant Ground Types have sub-types that neutralize their Grass weakness.

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 3 / 5

Perrserker is a mono-Steel type with average bulk, and a very unusual moveset. The lack of STAB on its more viable movesets is somewhat inefficient in terms of damage output. However, it's unique coverage as a Steel-type can prove very useful in limited formats like Silph Arena cups. 

Ultra League: 2.5 / 5 

Perrserker's limited bulk in Ultra League is a major flaw in its role to counter popular Ghost and Steel-types. The lack of STAB is also unfortunate. Losses against a significant portion of the meta prevent Perrserker from being rated any higher. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Perrserker lacks adequate stats for Master League.
